Don’t think I’ve ever covered a team that needed a win more than Syracuse did last night vs. North Carolina. https://t.co/XQ7ppXiXiy
Blowout losses. Personnel losses. The memory of a 36-point loss to North Carolina. Syracuse’s win over the 7th-ranked Tar Heels was big for so many reasons. https://t.co/XQ7ppXiXiy
A court storm from the players' perspective. Plus, Quadir Copeland appears in the post-game coach's press conference. He had a question. Syracuse people were so happy with Tuesday's win over North Carolina.⤵️ https://t.co/HBFvg5XSQJ
As a certain ex-UNC coach might say, "everything looks better when the ball goes in the basket." And vice versa. But Syracuse's red-hot shooting in the 86-79 upset, including a 40-foot, banked-in, go-ahead 3, still exposed more cracks in UNC's facade. https://t.co/17QI8dNkzK
